Unfortunately due to the adverse weather conditions, Bishop Peter Doyle was unable to visit Christ the King, Bedford on the weekend of 3/4 March. The visit has now been rescheduled for 12/13 May. We are hoping that the sun will be out that weekend to welcome the Bishop, as well as a good congregation at the Latin Mass, at which he will preach.
UPDATE Saturday 3 March: Sadly Bishop Doyle will not be able to come to Bedford tomorrow morning for the Sunday Masses. God willing he will be with us on 12-13 May.
Bishop Peter Doyle will give the homily at the 8:30am Sung Mass this Sunday 4th March here at Christ the King Church.
This will follow the Family Catechism Day with Fatima devotions on Saturday 3rd March on the theme of the Incarnation. The programme can be found here.

The second of our Family Catechism Days with Fatima Devotions takes place at Christ the King, Bedford this coming Saturday 3 March. There will be Mass at 10 am, Rosary, Confessions and catechism for children and adults.

On Sunday 4 March the 8.30 am Mass will be sung, and the preacher will be Bishop […]
Those brining little ones to the Family Catechism Day either on 3rd March (in Bedford) or 24th March (in Chesham Bois) are asked if possible to prepare your children by giving them a prayer card with an image of Jesus’ Holy Face on the Shroud of Turin and one of Our Lady of Guadalupe as miraculously produced and preserved on St Juan Diego’s tilma. If prayer cards cannot be found, then a few minutes studying the result of a Google search is another option.
How much God desires to be close to us, to give us everything we need, so that He has arranged most tenderly that we have to this day an image of His incarnate Face, and a true image too of His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary!
